Hahaha Carolynn your comment made me laugh, as a regular babysitter I hear the funniest things, especially from the little guy learning to talk, he came home from holidays with a whole load of new words. I love hearing their vocabulary grow :)

Love this and wish I'd had one for each of my girls...they have said some of the funniest things ever. So glad you have one as your little guy will soon start to gab away...make sure you use it...it is too easy to forget it all. Cheers!

I have a quote jar--super easy! Whenever my kids say something I want to remember, I can just use whatever paper I have (because the good quotes are usually when we are out and about), fold it up and then put it in a funky jar (that I love) when I have a chance. Anytime we have a hard day, I take it out and pretty soon everyone is laughing so uncontrollably, we forget that it was rough just a few minutes before...

We have this book and I adore it! I've had it for almost a year and my daughter is two and a half. It has been wonderful to jot down her conversational progress! And if I don't have the book with me, I just email the quote to myself to write later. Perfect!

This is the cutest idea, would be perfect for the birthday of a friend's child who you always end up getting a toy they will never use or a book they have already read! Brilliant idea!www.styleisalwaysfashionable.blogspot.com

My mom gave me that book for Christmas, and I love it! Every time my daughter said something hilarious I would think "I've got to write that down!!" and sometimes I would, but often I would forget. It's great to have a designated place to write it down and I love having something that looks nice too. I keep it in the kitchen, so it's super handy.

My mother kept a small composition notebook (this was in 1985, mind you) and wrote down all the crazy things I would say and it is literally one of the things I'd save in a fire. It's like this fascinating window into how humor and personality develop, or even just the absolutely crazy lies kids will make up. I definitely plan on doing the same for my future babies.

I love when Jenna from Sweet Fine Day writes down what her kids say on her blog - it's usually adorable and hilarious. I'm sure you will share little Toby's funny observations and linguistic moments when the time comes!

I babysit for our neighbors that live under our apartment. As the Daddy was leaving, he kissed his son, who is 2 1/2. Then the son said, "Daddy, now kiss Jessica bye!" And both Daddy and I said, "Uhhhh, we'll just wave at each other!"

such a cute idea. I don't have any kids yet, but I teach preschool/kindergarten and everyday one of my students says something and I think, "I've got to write that down!" This is such an adorable way to collect them.

I do the same thing as Amber's mom - I have a hardbound journal for each kid, and try to write entries once or twice a week of what they said/did/learned. It is also helpful for me to "teach" them little things that might be helpful if they ever read the journals as teens or adults. No one is allowed to read them but me and my kids (someday).

My little neighbor girl (3 yrs.) was over the other day and I told her she's getting to be a very big girl. She promptly replied (with her arms way up in the air to show how tall she's getting) that she's getting way big and will have big boobies like her mom. Then she pulled up her shirt to show me she had boobies. Made me laugh. Such sweet innocence. You don't want to forget these moments.

PS (from same anonymous) I didn't start this until my son was really talking (saying words) but I wish I'd started just when he was communicating by babbling, smiling, pointing, and crying. There are so many sweet moments I thought I'd remember forever but can't now. Later, you will really treasure even these little steps.

I have this in my Amazon wish list! I also love the Birthday Book, so I'm debating between My Quotable Kid and Words to Remember: A Journal for Your Child's Sweet and Amusing Sayings (since it's the same author as the Birthday Book).

I love this. I feel like as my daughter gets to 22 months we'd be filling out a page a day soon. A friend of mine put together a beautiful book called Purple Leaves Red Cherries (http://purpleleavesredcherries.com). It's candid vignettes of moms experiences that really get to the heart of things. It also has space to jot down her thoughts and reflect on the experience of mommyhood. It's my go to new mom gift now.

i wrote things my youngest said in my journal. the older children's funny sayings i wrote in their baby books. i still like to look back and review. i get very nostalgic. this book is an awesome idea!!!

I collected the little quotes (called Poppyisms) of the little girl, Poppy, that I have nannied for 5 years and compiled them all into a book for her parents and a blog post of course... http://acollectionofpassions.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-birthday-poppy.html

My sister bought me this book and I adore it! I keep it nearby in my desk so I can write the quote right after it happens.I want to remember all the funny words my daughter says like calipater (caterpillar), nedermade (lemonade) and nudder day (another day).Haha.

Found this on amazon and purchased imediately (thanks to you!). It shall be my lifesaver as my little guy (2 years old) is talking up a storm. Last night he said, "Mommy, my best friend." It will be the first thing I get to write in this darling journal. Just wanted to say thanks! :) Enjoy your blog mucho, mucho!

My parents kept a simple journal of all the funny things we said and did as kids. As we got older my dad would read a story or two from it at bedtime. Last year for my 29th birthday my dad brought it out at dinner with friends and family. It is truly one of the most priceless things we have as a family.
